Today, according to my west coast brother, is "National Air Traffic Control Day." I, for one, am delighted to honor our air traffic controllers. I had a friend some time ago whose husband was an air traffic controller, or to give him his correct title, an Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS). He worked at Fort Wayne International Airport and found the job very stressful. I can't imagine if he had worked at Atlanta's airport.
My wonder spouse used to fly his own plane and I know he agrees with me about the importance of good air traffic controllers. He has flown in and out of many of the major airports in the US and I'm pretty sure he would not have wanted to fly in or our of any of those cities without the help of air traffic controllers.
So the next time you're flying anywhere think good thoughts about those men and women who are choreographing your takeoffs and landings.
PS today is "International Kissing Day." My spouse and I agree that after a safe landing is a great time for an international kiss.
